Sensitive Skin Guide
How to layer your skincare, the FIGGI way.
A calm, simple guide to building your skincare ritual in the right order — designed for sensitive, dry, or reactive-feeling skin that prefers clarity over complication.
The FIGGI approach
Layering should make skincare feel clearer, not more complicated.
Sensitive skin often prefers routines that feel steady and easy to understand. FIGGI’s approach to layering focuses on gentle cleansing, hydration support, skin comfort, and barrier-supportive care — without overwhelming the skin with too many steps at once.
The simple order
Your FIGGI layering ritual.
01
Cleanse
Begin with a gentle cleanse to remove makeup, SPF, and daily impurities while keeping the skin feeling soft and comfortable.
02
Mist or hydrate
Follow with a lightweight hydration step to help skin feel refreshed, soft, and ready for the rest of your routine.
03
Serum
Apply your targeted serum step, when included, before cream so the routine stays light, intentional, and easy to layer.
04
Moisturise
Finish with your cream to support hydration balance, skin comfort, and a more cared-for skin feel.
Step 01
Start with a gentle cleanse.
Cleansing is the first step in the FIGGI ritual. The goal is not to leave skin feeling stripped, tight, or over-cleansed. It is to begin with skin that feels clean, soft, and comfortable.
Shop CleansersStep 02
Add lightweight hydration.
A mist or hydration step can help skin feel refreshed and supported before applying serum or cream. This is especially useful when skin feels dry, tight, or in need of moisture-supportive care.
Shop TreatmentsStep 03
Use serum with intention.
Serums should have a clear role in your ritual. FIGGI’s approach is not to overload sensitive skin, but to choose targeted steps carefully and introduce them gradually.

Finish with barrier-supportive moisture.
Your moisturiser helps complete the routine by supporting hydration balance, softness, comfort, and a more resilient-looking complexion.
Shop CreamsMorning and evening
Keep your routine simple enough to repeat.
AM
Morning ritual
Cleanse or refresh, mist, apply serum if part of your routine, then moisturise. In the daytime, follow with your preferred SPF.
PM
Evening ritual
Cleanse thoroughly, add hydration, apply serum if using one, then finish with a nourishing evening cream.
Reset
When skin feels unsettled
Simplify. Return to gentle cleansing, hydration support, and moisturising until your routine feels comfortable again.
Sensitive skin note
More steps do not always mean a better routine.
Sensitive skin can feel overwhelmed by too much experimentation. FIGGI encourages a slower, more intentional approach: introduce one new product at a time, notice how your skin feels, and keep your daily ritual consistent.
A calm routine is not basic. It is thoughtful, repeatable, and designed around skin comfort.
